Great color. I love the copper/gold with the brown of the saddle and grips. Boy, that has a short wheelbase. Not like criterium short, but sporty short. I like your front chainring setup. No overlaps on that gear chart or is there? And nice big platform pedals. Are those composite? As much as I love vintage pedals, the composite ones take a lot of abuse and continue to look and operate good. And they don't scratch up the other bikes.
Not a lot of bike capacity there, but they probably don't get that many bikes there either and at least they have a space for bikes. My local supermarket has none so I lock my bike to a sign post.
It's got to be getting cold there now.

The photo of your bike next to the rack reminded me: Simon Richardson, one of the long-time presenters on the GCN channel on YouTube, commented in passing in a recent episode of the GCN Show that he doesn't understand why bike racks aren't coated in a durable form of rubber. Never thought of that in the decades I've been a bike rider. There's a business opportunity for someone.

I like the wheel pairing, both hubs are super cool! I also like seeing that the geometry is not too tight for fenders. Are those 27” rims?

Love the combination; "Sir Walter, meet my friend Phil....."
The upper midwest had a cold spell up until earlier this week, but now we're well above normal, highs in the mid 70s. Of course, it can't last.
